in Techie Stuff
A few days ago I installed the Nectar search toolbar. I now wish to uninstall but cannot find it on my laptop anywhere. I know I'm not that techie minded but this is ridiculous 
On the nectar site it tells you to 'click on Nectar.com and uninstall from the options - that only took me to their homepage.
Or - click on add ons and uninstall - but it's not there!
Or - add/remove and yes you guessed, it's not there either!
At the moment Ive hidden it and put the homepage back to google under - tools- options.
I could leave it like that but I'm annoyed I cannot uninstall something I should be able to!
Help please!!

Just a thought, have you tried starting firefox in safe mode?
There is a reset toolbar option in thereand the continue in safe mode option lets you try without committing.
